Jackie Beat superstar drag icon reviews The Stepford Wives (1975).Cinema Blend Katey's top 10 list. I forgot to link up at the time but I'm always curious what friends will choose. We're about to record a podcast. Wheeee.CineEuropa reviews the Macedonian Oscar entry Mothers.

I read this book. Thought it could be really cinematic. But only if they
bucked the trend of super faithful adaptations. Books are not movies!

Release Dates

Just Jared Tom Hardy as The Warrior gets a release date, September 9th.Lady Gaga "Born This Way" on May 23rd.Coming SoonWater For Elephants has a new still (to your left) and opens on April 22nd.PlayBill looks at the upcoming Broadway openings. (Honestly, it seems like half of the shows running closed today, January 2nd, 2011.)IndieWire looks at which 2011 releases will reflect 2010 releases. Some are obvious: 2011's Black Swan is The Wolverine. Some not so much.

Also...

The new site is up (mostly) -- it seems to be flickering in and out but should be running smoothly within the next couple of days. Still working on importing the blog. But you can see the new Oscar predictions and what not. If you're lucky. If not, try again later.

Well a new podcast is good way to welcome in the first week of the New Year! I've been hoping that you'd all find time to record one as they are always for me the highlight of this whole 'Oscar season'.

I'd look forward to Water the Elephants if Marlena wasnt so miscast. I can deal with Pattinson but I cant buy her trying to be sexy and alluring. Witherspoon is too much like the girls next door to make it work.

BTW I read the script and personally i thoughts it was so much more better than the book. The characters Uncle Al and August are combined together and the story just flows better.

I don't know if this is a clue to a problem, but I can access the site from my IPhone but not from my computer.And this seems like as good a place as any to thank you for putting together such a terrific, informative and thought-provoking film experience on a daily basis. Looking forward to visiting just as constantly in 2011 as I have been since the 2007 Oscar race.
